We open up 123 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 8: for question answers for like twenty thirty minutes and it's 124 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 8: really dope. People get a lot of value. It's obviously 125 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 8: a way more intimate setting than YouTube, and it's a 126 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 8: way to actually learn and actually interact. 127 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 3: A difference from the podcast. 128 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 8: With the podcast is obviously tremendous, but the podcast, somebody's 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 8: like just telling the story and you're listening to it, 130 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 8: where with the classes you actually get to actually engage 131 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 8: with the people, ask quesquestions, They have slides, PowerPoint presentation, 132 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 8: so it's more of a classroom type setting. So once 133 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 8: once a month we open it up to the public 134 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 8: on YouTube and this is called our open enrollment. So 135 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 8: the open enrollment is like you get to just see, 136 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 8: you know, for yourself, and if you're interested in joining, great, 137 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 8: If not, then you just get free information. 138 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: So this is this is this will be the last. 139 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 8: Week of Eyo University for the year because we're taking 140 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 8: our winter break after this after this week is over. 141 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 8: But this week we have a class that we have 142 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 8: orientation for all new members. We have orientation tomorrow at 143 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 8: seven pm. Just to kind of navigate you through the 144 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 8: website because what happens is that there's over seventy I 145 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 8: think there's seventy three past webinars, so they get archives, 146 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 8: so every single week you get archived on the website 147 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 8: Euyouniversity dot com. And then we have a Facebook group, 148 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 8: We have a movie club, we have a book club, 149 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 8: we have accountability groups. 150 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: So it's a lot of stuff going on. 151 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 8: So it's kind of hard to navigate, but it's not 152 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 8: an investment is the actual university. That's why we call 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 8: it Eyo University because we really really want the top 154 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 8: spot as far as educational platforms like Phoenix University, we 155 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 8: really want to take them out and become the household 156 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 8: name when it comes to education. So being that is 157 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 8: the case, this is actually the last week of Eyo 158 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 8: University as we know it. 159 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: We're ending.

That's what we're gonna get 274 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 6: into tonight, y'all. Uh disclaimer, because what I do recognize 275 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 6: is that we got earners from around the world. So 276 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 6: what I need for you all to understand is that 277 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 6: the things that I'm going to teach in this master 278 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 6: class are going to not be the same in every state. 279 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 6: So the most important thing that you can do with 280 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,359 Speaker 6: any information that you get is to research it for yourself, 281 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 6: to get an expert in your area, whether that be 282 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 6: a real estate agent, a legit business consultant, business strategists, 283 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 6: and of course a lawyer, someone that you can trust. 284 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 6: Is always good to have a lawyer stay lawyered up. 285 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 6: So that's my disclaimer for tonight that these principles, these strategies, 286 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 6: these things I'm gonna teach you, they are definitely probably 287 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 6: applicable to what it is you need to do in 288 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 6: your neck of the woods. But you have to find 289 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 6: out for yourself if that thing that I teach or 290 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 6: say tonight is going to have the same precedence in 291 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 6: the areas in what you plan on building and investing 292 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 6: in so now that that side of the way. I'm 293 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 6: Ashley Scott. I am a realtor based in Stonecrest, Georgia. 294 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 6: I am the vice president of the Freedom Georgia Initiative. 295 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 6: If you do not know my story, I am My 296 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 6: good friend Rene Walters purchased ninety six points seventy one 297 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 6: acres of land just outside of Tombsboro, Georgia, a little 298 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 6: sleeping town that went viral over the summer after we 299 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 6: had the unfortunate events of George Floyd being murdered, amaled 300 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 6: Aubrey being murdered Red Sharp Brooks. All of the energy 301 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 6: that we have been dealing with around social justice issues 302 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 6: made that article go viral and it caught my friend 303 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 6: Renee's attention, and her being an entrepreneur a visionary herself, said, 304 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 6: you know what, if we're gonna make change, we need 305 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 6: to look at this town. And so she brought that 306 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 6: to me. We went to an open house, we visited, 307 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 6: we did our due diligence, and we decided to invest 308 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: in building our own community and building a community that 309 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 6: is intentionally created to serve and meet the needs of 310 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 6: black families and black businesses. To try to create a 311 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 6: replicatable model for other families to buy land and to 312 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 6: create for themselves the kind of community that they deserve 313 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 6: to live in. So the Freedom Georgia Initiative is just 314 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 6: getting started. We purchased our land July twenty twenty, so 315 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 6: that's been less than six months. I myself, as a realtor, 316 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 6: have been a realtor for just over two and a 317 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 6: half years, and I've been in marketing for over ten 318 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 6: years now. I have a company called the Mobile Maidens. 319 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 6: I'm a wife, I'm a mom, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm 320 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 6: a leader at heart. I am a proud HBCU graduate. 321 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,239 Speaker 6: Shout out to Bennett College for Women and all of 322 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 6: my ben at bells.

I am very civically engaged and always working 325 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 6: toward a progressive realization of a worthy ideal. So it's 326 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 6: time to buy land. Y'all for building more intentionally. Everywhere 327 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 6: you look, it's clear that there's a lot of concerns. 328 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 6: We've got COVID concerns. We don't know whether or not 329 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 6: we are going to get over this hump. People are 330 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 6: concerned about density and about how quickly the virus can 331 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 6: spread because it's so highly contagious. And what we know 332 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 6: is when you're talking about a highly contagious pandemic, it 333 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 6: is going to have a bigger impact on dense areas. 334 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 6: So we have to look at our housing situation as 335 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 6: a whole when it comes to public our health and 336 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 6: as a public health issue. Not only that, we've got 337 00:18:52,960 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 6: climate change happening. We got wildfires in California and Oregon 338 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 6: that is actually dictating relocation and trends. People are, you know, 339 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 6: literally looking at relocating not just for climate change, but 340 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 6: because of affordable housing. We're in the midst of an 341 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 6: affordable housing crisis. We have more buyers than we have 342 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 6: sellers at the moment, so this market and all of 343 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 6: the conditions around it, we are going to probably see 344 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 6: a huge influx of even. 345 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 3: We have sellers at the moment. 346 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 6: So this market and all of the conditions over and 347 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 6: food insecurity, land is the direct opportunity to solve that problem. 348 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 6: We gotta buy land. Social injustice, we have been facing 349 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 6: high crime, high policing, and it creates a cycle of 350 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 6: prison industrial complexes and until we buy land and change 351 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 6: how the structures of our communities actually look, we are 352 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 6: going to continue to see social uprising and social injustice. 353 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 6: We have to change what community looks like to really 354 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 6: have an impact on how we prison and police our communities, 355 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 6: health disparities, this pandemic. Again, the reason why certain demographics 356 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 6: were disproportionately affected by COVID is because of our lifestyles. 357 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 6: We don't walk enough, you guys. We're not living in 358 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 6: well being. We're not spending time and outdoors forest bathing. 359 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 6: You probably don't even know what forest bathing is, but 360 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 6: look it up. I promise you you are. 361 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 5: Going to come back to that. 362 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 6: You will enjoy forest bathing. Right, So, buying land is 363 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 6: genuinely a way and a me means for us to 364 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 6: intentionally create a better world. So that's why I'm so 365 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 6: passionate about this, and I want to get into my 366 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 6: little five step outline of building intentionally. So when I'm 367 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 6: gonna cover this evening is the land, the team, the money, 368 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 6: the build, and the charter. I'm not gonna go very 369 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 6: deeply into the charter because you know that's a whole lot, 370 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 6: but I am gonna touch on it just a bit 371 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 6: but let's get started with a bit of insight before 372 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 6: I start about But if we're going to talk about 373 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 6: developing land, we're gonna talk about buying, buying back the block. 374 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 6: We have to have a bit of insight, a bit 375 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 6: of strategy when we talk about group economics, we have 376 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 6: to really have a mindset shift. So one of the 377 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 6: things I want to just get us kind of positioned 378 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 6: with one. I hope you got a notebook. If you 379 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 6: don't go get it, because it's about to be some 380 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 6: note taking moments coming. Okay. If you don't leave with 381 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 6: nothing else tonight, If you have no intention on buying 382 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 6: any kind of land whatsoever, if you don't know if 383 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 6: you'll ever develop any pieces of land, if you don't 384 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 6: want to even consider living in community, or buying and 385 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 6: building the block, any of that, take this with you tonight. 386 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 6: There are seven seven habits of highly effective people. And 387 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 6: for you to be able to actually see something as magnet, 388 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 6: something as big as buying land, developing it into a subdivision, 389 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 6: into a mixed use project, into a full blown community, 390 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 6: an eco village, whatever it is that your heart is 391 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 6: desiring to do with the land that you want to purchase, 392 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 6: you're going to have to have some insight and some strategy, 393 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 6: and your disposition in life is going to allow you 394 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 6: to be more successful versus less successful in this person suit, 395 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 6: because it will be easy to fail, and really to 396 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 6: give up is what happens. You don't really fail, You 397 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 6: give up when you get so many challenges. So if 398 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 6: you don't have the right insight, the right strategy, you're 399 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 6: going to give up when those challenges come. So I 400 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 6: want to talk about these seven habits first before we 401 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 6: get into the class, because I think mindset has everything 402 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 6: to do with building land and buying land and developing 403 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 6: land and eventually building a city. Right, So number one, 404 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 6: be proactive, period poop. Begin with the end in mind. 405 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 6: Beginning with the ending mind is essential in buying land 406 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 6: and developing it. If you don't start with the end 407 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 6: in mind, you're going to lose your shirt. You're not 408 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 6: going to have an exit strategy, you're not going to 409 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 6: be able to actually manifest the actual benefits, the profits, 410 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 6: the things that you wanted from your land. If you 411 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 6: don't start with the end in mind, put first things first. 412 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 6: You can't tackle everything at once, and your core values 413 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 6: and the end that you have in mind, that ultimate 414 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 6: result that you want, whether it's some sum of money, 415 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 6: whether it's a community that it's intentional and loving and thriving, 416 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 6: whether it's creating a space and a place where your 417 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 6: children feel safe, and then you can pass it down 418 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 6: as an inheritance. Put first things first, because when you 419 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 6: come up with challenges, if you remember those things that 420 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 6: are priorities to you, you won't allow the challenges, the 421 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 6: petty arguments, the things that will happen with contractors and 422 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 6: permitters and all of the different things that go on. 423 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 6: You won't let it deter you, and you won't get 424 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 6: caught up on things that easily beset you because you 425 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 6: know what the in mind is and you put that 426 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 6: first thing first. Right Four, Think when when you're not 427 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 6: going to be able to develop a piece of land 428 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 6: unless you have a win win attitude, a win win mindset. 429 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 6: It's not just what's in it for me, and it's 430 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 6: never a sum zero game. When you're talking about when 431 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 6: when it doesn't look like I beat this guy and 432 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 6: that guy's a loser. You can't negotiate that way and 433 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 6: you can't build community that way. You have to have 434 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 6: a win win mindset of I get something. My brother 435 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 6: gets something, I get something. My contractor gets something. I 436 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 6: get something, my county gets something. I get something, my 437 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 6: economic development authority gets something. It's a win win for everybody. 438 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 6: Seek first to understand, then to be understood before you 439 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 6: go rah rah rah. Make sure that you understand why 440 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 6: things are happening in the fashion of which they're happening. 441 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 6: It could be something that came up in your build 442 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 6: or your project that was unforeseeable. So to understand first 443 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 6: is always a great practice when you're talking about going 444 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 6: through this path of buying and developing land, and then 445 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 6: to be understood. Make sure that you are speaking up 446 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 6: for yourself, that you are keeping your core principles and 447 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 6: the core values of your project in mind. With the 448 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 6: people you are working with. Synergize. Look for ways that 449 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 6: allow things to get momentum, to work together seamlessly, strategic partnerships, 450 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 6: people who are just a good fit. I have some 451 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 6: great stories that I don't even have time to share, 452 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 6: but anybody that we have brought onto our Freedom Georgia 453 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 6: Initiative project has had good synergry and with very strategic 454 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 6: about never working with somebody we don't like, we don't 455 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 6: want to look at or that we think is not 456 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 6: going to have to share the common goal, because if 457 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 6: I'm going to do business with you, I want to 458 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 6: make sure I feel good when I'm doing that business. 459 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 6: And when you're doing the business of buying land and 460 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 6: developing it. You're going to be in business with a 461 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 6: person for a long time, at least eighteen to twenty 462 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 6: four months, and you want to make sure that there's 463 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 6: synergy with the partners and the consultants and the contractors 464 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 6: and the people you choose on your journey. Sharpen the 465 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 6: saw always I personally develop yourself, personally develop your team, 466 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 6: find new innovative information in ways to do things. So 467 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 6: keep that strategy in mind. It will serve you for 468 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 6: what I'm getting ready to teach tonight. It will serve 469 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 6: you if you get off the YouTube right now, take 470 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 6: it with you, Okay. And that was Seven Habits of 471 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 6: Highly Effective People. That's one of the books. That is 472 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 6: my suggested refe by Stephen Covey. Let's get into it 473 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 6: the land. I'm going to talk about why buy land. 474 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 6: We're going to discuss world versus urban, the process, best features, 475 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 6: and things to avoid. Just so you can see in 476 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 6: the corner over there. That is my little land that 477 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 6: I have purchased with my good friends and family, And 478 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 6: that was our first event, the big Black camp out, 479 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 6: So you're getting to get a little glimpse of where 480 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 6: we are beginning. Our developments got beautiful views, and I 481 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 6: just love it every time I go. Why buy land, Well, 482 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 6: raw land investments are typically less competitive than residential real 483 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 6: estate in the market right now. I don't know if 484 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 6: any of you guys are in the market, maybe looking 485 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 6: to buy a home, and you have been putting offers 486 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 6: on houses over and over and over again, and it's 487 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 6: like every time you look, you're missing out on a 488 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 6: chance to get the home of your dreams. You might 489 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 6: be an You're putting in offers and offers, and all 490 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 6: of your offers are getting passed up because it's a 491 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 6: seller's market. Inventory is really low, particularly where I am 492 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 6: in my market of Atlanta, Georgia, because interest rates are 493 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 6: just so low and this pandemic makes people uncertain about 494 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 6: where they may move and where they might want to go. 495 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 6: They aren't putting their homes on the market. So we've 496 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 6: got a whole lot of buyers, but not a lot 497 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 6: of sellers. So that's creating an artificial inflation of the 498 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 6: prices in the market at the moment. So we really 499 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 6: can look towards land investments as a major opportunity, especially 500 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 6: when we look at these relocation trends, to be able 501 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 6: to purchase a piece of land and develop it to 502 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 6: really address this affordable housing crisis and to make yourself 503 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 6: some money. Again, it's less competitive than residential real estate 504 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 6: when you buy land. Sellers of raw land investments are 505 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 6: a little more likely to be able to finance through 506 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 6: owner finance. And now I'm gonna touch a little bit 507 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 6: more on that when we get to the money section. 508 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 6: Purchase price and holding costs are lower with rawland. So 509 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 6: that's something that a lot of times we look at 510 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 6: as real estate investors are holding costs over time, especially 511 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 6: if you are someone who does birds and buys and holds, 512 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 6: you're gonna want to you have higher holding costs, insurance 513 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 6: and taxes and all of the things that you have 514 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 6: to maintain when you're holding an actual piece of real 515 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 6: property if you buy land as an investment and don't 516 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 6: develop it but simply hold it, especially if it's in 517 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 6: a location that's trendy, a location that's likely to appreciate 518 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 6: in value over time. That is an exceptional piece of 519 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 6: property that can then generate a profit for you, a 520 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 6: return on your investment, and you can just hold it 521 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 6: for time and hopefully it does become the next place 522 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 6: for gentrification or revitalization and you're able to have that 523 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 6: money that might have been sending in the bank turn 524 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 6: into a chance to sell the property or develop the 525 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 6: area and build a home and sell it for a 526 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 6: large price. So that's the value of purchase price and 527 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 6: holding costs that are lower. We're all land the appreciation potential. 528 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 6: I think I just mentioned that the appreciation potential can 529 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 6: remain high even with less than stellar market conditions, which 530 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 6: is where we are now. You can buy a piece 531 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 6: of land for affordable price right now, hold it, and 532 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 6: then when this wealth transfer finishes, you might be able 533 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 6: to have a nice return on appreciation on your land. 534 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 6: There are countless development opportunities for the raw land. There 535 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 6: is not just developing the land. You can put trees 536 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 6: on the land and sell the lumber. You can create 537 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 6: Airbnb experiences. You can rent the land out for cultural 538 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 6: events and festivals. There is farming. You can lease the land. 539 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 6: You can do so many things with ray land. The 540 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 6: only limit is your imagination.

Google is your friend rural versus urban. 547 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 6: There are I like rural land. That's just me. You're 548 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 6: gonna find more rural land available at larger acreages at 549 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 6: more affordable prices than you will in urban areas. Urban 550 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 6: areas have all the conveniences we already know. It's close 551 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 6: to the walmart, it's close to the jobs, it's close 552 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 6: to all the things, the nightlife, the stuff you love. 553 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 6: But there's setbacks to both sides of the fence. You again, 554 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 6: beginning with the end in mind, have to have clarity 555 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 6: on what it is you want to do with your investment, 556 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 6: what it is you want to accomplish once you purchase 557 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 6: your land. If you're interested in purchasing land in an 558 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 6: urban area, you definitely want to find something that's going 559 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 6: to be in a trendy area. That doesn't have a 560 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 6: lot of zoning and ordinances, But be mindful that you 561 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 6: need to check the zoning and ordinances when you invest 562 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 6: in purchase urban land, because when you're an urban land 563 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 6: is land that is inside of a major metropolitan area. 564 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 6: For those of you who are like, what do you 565 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 6: mean by that, So, if you're looking at a place 566 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 6: like Metro Atlanta and even the little city surrounding it 567 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 6: like Decatur and Smyrna, those are urban areas with high density, 568 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 6: lots of traffic, and typically there's more crime in the area. 569 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 6: They're typically higher police and again there's benefits like proximity 570 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 6: to shopping, work in nightlife. There's more noise pollution, there's 571 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 6: light pollution, actual pollution. So when you're looking at rural land, 572 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 6: there's a lot of grants and USDA loans that might 573 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 6: be available to you, as well as opportunity zones. You 574 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 6: can find opportunity zones both in urban areas and rural areas. 575 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 6: You need to be able to google it, go find 576 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 6: opportunity zones. You put the zip code or the address 577 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 6: of the area you're interested in investing in to be 578 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 6: able to find out whether or not it is in 579 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 6: an opportunity zone. Rural has minimum or no zoning or ordinances. 580 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 6: Typically with your rural land, it's more of the countryside. 581 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 6: It's usually about forty five minutes outside of the downtown 582 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 6: or center city areas, so there's less density, there's less traffic, 583 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 6: there's usually less crime, less policing. You might have a 584 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 6: sheriff's department versus a metropolitan police department, so it's a 585 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 6: different feel altogether. It's more abundant with trees, nature and 586 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 6: natural resources, less noise pollution, less light pollution, less actual pollution, 587 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 6: and there is the challenge of being further away from 588 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 6: your modern conveniences. You might not be able to roll 589 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 6: up to the walmart. It probably close at nine ten o'clock. 590 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 6: Some of the stories you like, but you also again 591 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 6: I'll say, begin with the end in mind. What is 592 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 6: it you want to see with your land investment when 593 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 6: you purchase, when getting started in land investment, I'm going 594 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 6: to say it again, it's vitally important to understand the 595 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 6: zoning the area. The way to understand what the zoning 596 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 6: laws are is simply to get what your real estate 597 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 6: agent to check out, the tax assessor's office, your county 598 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 6: manager's office, your city office. There's usually a website that 599 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 6: has zoning and ordinances. You can call your zoning department, 600 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 6: your local zoning department in the city, or the areas 601 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 6: you're interested in to find out what the zoning restrictions are. 602 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 6: Zoning is essentially a map overlay that tells our city planners, developers, 603 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 6: economic developers, commercial developers where they can build in the 604 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 6: city's master planning. Is this area available for industrial stuff, 605 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 6: This area is available for residential and mixed use, this 606 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 6: area is available for commercial. So knowing where what the 607 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 6: zoning is on the parcel of land that you intend 608 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 6: to purchase is essential because you won't be able to 609 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 6: build what you want to build without a lot of hoopla. 610 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 6: I say hoopla. What I mean is going through the 611 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 6: process of having a zoning variance issued by your city 612 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 6: council or your zoning department. It's a process, it can 613 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 6: be done. That's the great thing about America, Baby, anything 614 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 6: is possible. You just need to be able to negotiate. 615 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 6: But just know that that may be a challenge. Property 616 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 6: buying timeline, so there's a plethora of timelines that are 617 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 6: possible in real estate development, and it's going to be 618 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 6: based on the type of project that you're building. When 619 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 6: you're purchasing land for development, know that the more intricate 620 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 6: your plans are, the more the larger the parcel is. 621 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 6: The amounts of acres that you have will dictate your 622 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 6: timeline just as well as your budget. So these timelines 623 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 6: are very loose. But I bought and I was able 624 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 6: to organize my nineteen families and buy that ninety six 625 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 6: acres of land in less than forty five days with 626 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 6: my collective. That's not normal, so don't think that that's 627 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 6: a typical result at all. You can take years to 628 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 6: find the perfect piece of land if you have an 629 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 6: extensive project and vision in your mind for what it 630 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 6: is you foresee building. But ultimately it will be varying 631 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 6: according to what it is you plan to do in 632 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 6: the area, of course, as well where you plan to 633 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 6: do it. Because of the pandemic, things that have also 634 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 6: slowed down significantly, and you have the fact that they're 635 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 6: social distancing issues keeping projects from moving as quickly as 636 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 6: they typically would because of being able to keep labor 637 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 6: on the project. It's a lot going on. But visioning 638 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 6: is the first step to your property buying timeline. I 639 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 6: keep saying it begin with the end in mind. Knowing 640 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 6: what you want to do with your land is essential 641 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 6: and it's going to help lead your search. You need 642 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 6: to take a few days and get clear about what 643 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 6: the community is you want to build. If you're building 644 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 6: an intentional community, if you want a farm, if you 645 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 6: plan on building affordable housing, if you plan on just 646 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 6: putting up one house and then doing the next project. 647 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 6: Just know what your goals are. Then that goal will 648 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 6: help dictate your search. Because there's a lot of reasons, 649 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 6: in different motivations for why people are purchasing lands in 650 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 6: this current state that we are in in America. So 651 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 6: whatever your reason is for why you want to build 652 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 6: buy land, and you feel pulled to buy land, write 653 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 6: the vision, make it plain, and go searching for the 654 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 6: land that's going to be most ideal for what it 655 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 6: is you see yourself doing with this land development. It 656 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 6: can take seven days, it could take one hundred and 657 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 6: eighty days. I had a person who took my seminar 658 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 6: how to Buy Land using group Economics that says she's 659 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 6: been looking for land for over two years because she 660 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 6: has certain criteria for her property buying. That being that 661 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 6: it has access to water, that it has flat areas 662 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 6: for food plots and flat areas for a home site, 663 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 6: and it needs to have road frontage and access, and 664 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 6: it needs to be just in this perfect location in 665 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 6: Georgia for it to work. And so when you have 666 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 6: those criterias and those fairy exact specifications, it can take 667 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 6: your property search much much longer. So that time frame 668 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 6: is a larger time frame because it varies based on 669 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 6: what you want. Due dilaging. Due diliging is your due 670 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 6: diligence period. You gotta do the research. You've got to hurt, 671 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 6: you've got to hire the inspector, the appraiser. You need 672 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 6: to do your soil samples, your percolation tests, things that 673 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 6: are going to let you know that the site you 674 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 6: are selecting is going to be adequate for your farming, 675 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 6: for your building, for your community developing. So that due 676 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 6: diligence period can be fourteen to twenty one days, I've 677 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 6: seen them go as long as thirty days. And you 678 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 6: can always renew that time frame or extend that time 679 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 6: frame as necessary with what's called an amendment to the contract. 680 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 6: Once you've placed your offer on the parcel of land 681 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 6: that you're interested in perk, So that offer comes after 682 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 6: you found that search. I should have added that as 683 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 6: a part of my timeline. But you make an offer 684 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 6: on that parcel once you've decided that you know what, 685 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 6: it's got everything I need, and now you really make 686 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 6: sure it has everything you need. You test the water. 687 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 6: If there's a well, you get the well tested. If 688 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 6: there is a lot of trees, you get the landscape 689 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 6: or guide to come in and give you a quote 690 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 6: for clearing the trees. You need to do as much 691 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 6: research as you can on the political landscape of the area, 692 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 6: who's coming into the area to develop it, what's the 693 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 6: demographics of the area. This is very important because you 694 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 6: can't get a Whole Foods or Starbucks unless the people 695 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 6: who live there make a certain income annually and they 696 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,760 Speaker 6: on top of that, it needs to be a certain 697 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 6: amount of people who live inside of the area for 698 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 6: them to want to come to the area. So all 699 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 6: of these things, this information is essential for you deciding 700 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 6: whether or not your investment is going to be a 701 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 6: viable investment. For you, knowing whether or not the land 702 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 6: is inside of city limits or outside of city limits. 703 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 6: If the land is outside of city limits, this is 704 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 6: your chance to build a city. If the land is 705 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 6: inside of city limits, ain't no help for you. You're gonna 706 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 6: have to just do what's going on, or become civically 707 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 6: engaged and change the landscape of your community through politics 708 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 6: and civil activism. Closing typically takes forty five to sixty 709 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 6: days on land, that is so that they can get 710 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 6: the appreciation the survey. The survey is going to be 711 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 6: priced according to how much land you are buying. It's 712 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,240 Speaker 6: tempting in juicy to say I'm gonna go buy four hundred, 713 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 6: six hundred acres of land, and you might find four 714 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 6: hundred or six hun your acres of land at a 715 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 6: price that you could have never thought was possible. But 716 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,760 Speaker 6: you have to look at the cost of serving that land, 717 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 6: of developing that land, and knowing what your goals are. 718 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 6: It can take longer than you know. It can take 719 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 6: forty five to sixty days to actually close on it. 720 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 6: And so depending on the situation such as you're financing appraisals, 721 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 6: due diligence, concern, tidal order, all of that can push 722 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 6: your closing further away than the forty five and sixty days. 723 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 6: You want to work very closely with your real estate agent. 724 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 6: You're closing attorney as well as your lender to make 725 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 6: sure that this project that you're doing is moving along okay. 726 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 6: Best features you can find when you're looking for land. 727 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 6: You're looking for scenic views, fresh water sources such as lakes, rivers, aquifers, 728 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 6: spring You're looking for access to road frontage and easements. 729 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 6: You are looking for access to utilities. You are looking 730 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 6: again for that unincorporated county land that has minimal ordinances. 731 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 6: You're looking for places that are home site ready flat 732 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 6: where you can get on there, you can take that 733 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 6: road and you can build your dream home and get 734 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 6: it pop and quick. Road systems and food plots if 735 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 6: you're into gardening. Those are the things that you're going 736 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 6: to be looking for when you look at buying rawland. 737 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:43,280 Speaker 6: That's going to be essential features. Challenge is to avoid uneven, rugged, 738 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 6: undesirable topography. If it looks like you wouldn't want to 739 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 6: walk there, live there, If animals don't look like they 740 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 6: want to walk there, live there, it's probably not a 741 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 6: good investment. It's probably not the place you want to 742 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 6: try to put down routs for a development or a community. 743 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 6: Gridlock land you never want to play the game of 744 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 6: buying a piece of land that's in the middle of 745 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 6: four other five six other people's properties and lands and 746 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 6: there's no clear deeded easement for how you can access 747 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 6: that land. That's a no go. You can work to 748 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 6: negotiate an easement avoid that if possible. No water, no well, 749 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 6: no county water. That's another challenge. That's another expensive piece 750 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 6: of infrastructure. You can essentially put a well into your land, 751 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 6: assuming that there is some kind of aquifier or groundwater 752 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 6: that is down there. You just need to understand that 753 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 6: when you put or dig a well for water, because 754 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 6: there's no county water hookup or no public water works 755 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 6: in place, that's going to be dictated a bout how 756 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:07,800 Speaker 6: deep your well contractor has to go into the ground 757 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 6: to actually find that water. So that can be a 758 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 6: cost that is very hard to determine. But you can 759 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 6: talk to the local person in the area who does 760 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 6: wells and septic tanks, because they're going to know what 761 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 6: the going rate is in your geographic location that you're 762 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 6: interested in developing because they're already digging there and typically 763 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 6: the water table the ground water for a well is 764 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 6: going to be about the same for a geographical region 765 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 6: or area, so you have to get in touch with 766 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 6: that local expert. Challenge is to avoid again no public utilities. 767 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 6: That's another hassle unless you have intentions on living off 768 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 6: the grid, installing solar power, getting with Moses West for 769 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:06,720 Speaker 6: his atmos feared water generation technology being able to collect 770 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 6: rain water like you, unless you're on that life and 771 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 6: you about that survivor, you gonna need public utilities. So 772 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 6: do not avoid buying land in places that have no 773 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 6: access to public utilities. Also avoid buying land in areas 774 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 6: that have overly restrictive zoning regulations, places that have very 775 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,959 Speaker 6: staunch conservatives and they don't want you know, cutting down 776 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 6: trees or places that you know are laxed even with 777 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 6: their zoning regulations and they just let anybody build whatever anywhere. 778 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 6: And now you're dealing with toxic water being dumped into 779 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 6: your neighborhood. So you there's a fine line to that. 780 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 6: You just need to again do your due diligence and 781 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 6: again exorbitant permit fees. Find out what the fees are 782 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 6: in advance for the area you're interested in purchasing land, 783 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 6: and when it comes to permits, you can find that 784 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,879 Speaker 6: from your tax assessor's office, your county manager office what 785 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 6: the cost, or your city manager, your city zoning office. 786 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 6: They will tell you what the fees are, what the 787 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 6: process is. When you are building something that is a 788 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 6: commercial project, the fees tend to be exorbitantly higher than 789 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 6: a traditional residential project. So in any case, be mindful 790 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 6: of this. I'm going to go back and mention for 791 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 6: restrictive zoning regulations you want to build those types of 792 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 6: projects in have to be open to that. You need 793 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,359 Speaker 6: to go find out again, go to your zoning an 794 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 6: ordinance department in your city in the counties, call them 795 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 6: up if it's an area that you don't currently live 796 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 6: in that you're looking to invest in, and find out 797 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 6: what they might have on the books as it relates 798 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:09,479 Speaker 6: to container homes, manufactured homes, eco friendly homes, all these 799 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 6: new innovative things that you might be interested in doing. 800 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 6: Because I know we got some innovative people out here 801 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 6: who want to do some innovative things. So find out 802 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 6: first before you buy the team. All right, So now 803 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 6: that we've talked about the land, we're gonna go ahead 804 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 6: and get into the team. I'm always happy to see 805 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 6: my beautiful team on the screen there. That is my 806 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 6: Freedom family. Shout out to the Freedom nineteen and my 807 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 6: business partners Renee and Laura Riley Cooper. I love y'all, 808 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 6: but you have to have a team, y'all. You cannot 809 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 6: do this by yourself. Even if you decide to be 810 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 6: a sole proprietor you have to. I still have team 811 00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 6: members in the area that are going to support you. 812 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,879 Speaker 6: That's going to lift you up. People who have certain expertise. 813 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 6: You're going to need consultants, So let's get into this 814 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 6: partners versus consultants. When you start taking on a development project, 815 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 6: your partners are your LLC members or your corporation members, 816 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 6: the people who put up the money with you to 817 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 6: start this business. These are the people who are bringing 818 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 6: the mental capacity to talent to this project. They get 819 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,479 Speaker 6: paid later when they share in the profits. They are 820 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 6: accountable for the decision making to help grow the business 821 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 6: or to make sure that this venture is profitable, and 822 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 6: they bear the financial losses if the venture fails. That 823 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 6: is a partner consultants different world. Your consultant gets paid 824 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 6: now as they do the work or as you're doing 825 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 6: the work so that you can be successful. They have 826 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 6: a fiduciary and an ethical duty to do right by you. 827 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 6: These are your realtors, These are your lawyers. These are 828 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 6: the people who have went to school and are specialized 829 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 6: in doing what they do. You need these consultants in 830 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,240 Speaker 6: your life, and they have a duty once they bring 831 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 6: you on as once they bring you on as a client, 832 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 6: to do right by you. But if they mess it up, 833 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 6: or you mess it up, or some factors mess it up, 834 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 6: they don't bear any of the financial loss if the 835 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 6: ventures fail. So just know who your partners are and 836 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 6: who your consultants are. And if you're really strategic, you 837 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 6: make the people who are the experts your partner and 838 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 6: your land development venture.

You have a licensed realtor on your team, 884 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 6: and someone who's seasoned, not somebody who has not done 885 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 6: any deals, and not somebody that's so seasoned that they're 886 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 6: too busy to get back to you. They're too busy 887 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 6: to show you what you want to see. That don't 888 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 6: want to walk around the land with you. You really do 889 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:01,839 Speaker 6: need someone who's going to be in the trenches with you, surveyor. 890 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 6: You have to have somebody who is gonna be able 891 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 6: to work walk through that land and tell you what 892 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 6: the perimeters are, where your property lines are. And you 893 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 6: don't want to have a surveyor who's gonna hit you 894 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 6: over the head because when you talk about land acreage, again, 895 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 6: the more acreage you have, the more it costs. And 896 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 6: when you have a good surveyor like the one I have, 897 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 6: they will say, oh, I'm the surveyor in this area, 898 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 6: and you know what matter of fact that land that 899 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,720 Speaker 6: you want to buy that area. I surveyed that piece. 900 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 6: I surveyed that piece, and I surveyed that piece. So 901 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 6: instead of surveying all three hundred and sixty four acres, 902 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead and survey this last piece of 903 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 6: the front part. And that's gonna save you tons of money. 904 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 6: Because they being a licensed surveyor, their work is certified. 905 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 6: They're not gonna they gonna do what they need to 906 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 6: do because they could lose their license. But it saves 907 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 6: you money. So be very particular with the surveyor, and again, 908 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 6: having a surveyor who's familiar with the area. That's one 909 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 6: of those things you should do is have somebody again 910 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 6: who's familiar with the area. The same thing for your appraiser. 911 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 6: You want to get an appraiser of the land who's 912 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 6: familiar with the area, CPA or bookkeeper. You are going 913 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 6: to want somebody who's good at keeping track of all 914 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 6: of these expenses. Particularly when you are talking about building 915 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 6: and you get into the construction aspect of this thing, 916 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 6: you definitely need somebody who's keeping track of the books 917 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 6: and the expenses on your project. The developer or the builder, 918 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 6: they are responsible for that part two, but they've worked 919 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 6: hand in hand. Okay, your developer, your builder, they need 920 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 6: to have a track record. They need to be somebody 921 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 6: you have verifiable references that they have built projects and 922 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,959 Speaker 6: that they are in good financial standing, that they don't 923 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 6: old people that they didn't walk off the project and 924 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 6: didn't finish the project. Do your due diligence on the builder. 925 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 6: To loan officer, you have to have somebody on your 926 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 6: team that's going to help you with all the different 927 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 6: financing stages.

Encumbrances are claims 938 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 6: to the land, claims that oh, my grandmama owned this 939 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 6: land and somebody stolen and there is a cloud on 940 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 6: the title because of it. There was something that didn't 941 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 6: get marked down in the tax assessor's office, so there's 942 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 6: some issue. Your closing attorney is going to do some 943 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 6: title research, do the work of ordering your title, and 944 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 6: that's the person who handles that, and that's the person 945 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 6: who's going to draw up your mortgage documents. If you're 946 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 6: going to have a mortgage such as seller financing or 947 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 6: do an institutional mode, your closing attorney's going to also 948 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 6: make sure that you walk through every single piece of 949 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 6: paper before when you're signing it, so you know what 950 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 6: you're signing. And then finally, once you are done, whatever 951 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 6: the project is, whatever it is, your building that you 952 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 6: are closing on, you gotta have a pr agent, a 953 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 6: marketing team, somebody is going to strategize so that you 954 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 6: can make sure that your project is a success. Because 955 00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 6: when you're buying land and developing land, and chances are 956 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 6: you don't know also how to market the land. Most 957 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 6: of us don't know how to do everything. And you 958 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 6: want to have the person who has that experience on 959 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 6: your team and let them do what they do. Okay, 960 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 6: how to choose your team. When a person shows you 961 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 6: who they are, believe them. Look at that track record, 962 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 6: check out reviews, get referrals. It's not rocket science. Go 963 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 6: with your gut, but also go with the information in 964 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 6: front of you that you see. If nobody has anything 965 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 6: good to say about this person, don't you give them 966 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 6: a chance. You go ahead and find someone who is reputable, 967 01:00:41,280 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 6: and that's how you build. About the money, this is 968 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 6: the financing portion of your land and development. We're gonna 969 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 6: talk about institutional funding, selling financing, private lenders and crowdfunding. 970 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 6: Institutional funding. This is where the slides get less cute 971 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 6: with visuals right, but it's a serious matter. Farmers dot 972 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 6: gov is a website that I want to tell everybody 973 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 6: to check out. You might not have any intention of farming, 974 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 6: but with what's going on with food sovereignty, being able 975 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 6: to purchase land through the USDA and loan products that 976 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 6: are available, as well as being able to take advantage 977 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 6: of any grants and different things that are available with 978 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 6: food sovereignty projects, it's a no brainer. Look into Farmers 979 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 6: dot gov. That is a great resource. You are purchasing land. 980 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 6: Institutional funding is your typical funding. That's when you go 981 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 6: to Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, or Citizens Trust Bank, 982 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 6: Unity Bank and you say, I want to buy this 983 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 6: piece of land, I would like to build a home 984 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 6: on it, and I would like to sell it. They've 985 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 6: got the best rates that it's the hardest to get, 986 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 6: so you're going to need to speak to the multiple 987 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 6: lenders and you're going to do best by starting with 988 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 6: a bank that you already have a relationship with. So 989 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 6: this goes without saying. Before you try your hand at 990 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 6: investing in any land, you should be credit worthy. You 991 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,360 Speaker 6: should have an exceptional credit score. You should have money 992 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 6: and savings in the bank. At least you know twenty 993 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 6: five percent of your disposable income should be saved in 994 01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 6: the bank before you start buying land and investing in 995 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 6: this way. Yes, you can buy affordable land at affordable 996 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 6: prices cash outright, and if that's the strategy you want 997 01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 6: to do, by all means, do it. But if you're 998 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 6: going to do a development project of scale, you're going 999 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 6: to need institutional funding and to get the best rates 1000 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 6: and to even be considered by a traditional lender, you 1001 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 6: are going to need exceptional credit and experience that track record. Again, 1002 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,200 Speaker 6: there's ways to get around it if you don't have 1003 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 6: a track record and no one on your team has 1004 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 6: a track record. By partnering strategically with your constructor your 1005 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 6: excuse me, your builder, your developer, speak with multiple lenders. 1006 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 6: Set up your LLC again, talk to that strategy, that 1007 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 6: business consultant, that strategist, that business attorney.

If you do that, seller financing 1014 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 6: is the better option if you know you'd have less 1015 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 6: than perfect credit. 1016 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:42,280 Speaker 5: No hold on ask because we got to hear that. 1017 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 5: We got to hear that. The good folks at Zoom 1018 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 5: something your sound caps going in and out. 1019 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 8: They're trying to sensor you like your asking. Can you 1020 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 8: repeat that because yourself, yourself is cutting off like every 1021 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 8: like ten minutes for like a minute. I don't know, 1022 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 8: I don't know what's going on, But can you can 1023 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 8: you still back at the beginning of seller financing? 1024 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 3: Please? 1025 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 5: We can't.

Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty 1060 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 7: five is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. 1061 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 7: P and C Bank National Association member fdi C. 1062 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 3: We don't want anybody to miss any information. 1063 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 8: Like when your sound goes out, we'll just start talking, 1064 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 8: because it's usually like only for like thirty seconds, So 1065 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 8: then we'll start talking, and then we could just bring 1066 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,320 Speaker 8: you back into. Just so whenever you hair start talking, 1067 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 8: just know that your sound cut out, and then we'll 1068 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 8: just bring you back in when your sound comes back on. 1069 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, because I got my notes ash and I'm like, wait, 1070 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 5: what just happened? 1071 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 3: Now I get the information hook a crook man. They can't. 1072 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 5: That's a fact. 1073 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 7: They can't shout out to every shout out to everybody 1074 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 7: that has their hand raised. We're gonna get to that 1075 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 7: when Ashley finis with the presentation, we see the questions. 1076 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 5: We're gonna get to that, all right, bet. 1077 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 6: Seller financing, what I was saying is it's usually a 1078 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 6: better option because seller financing typically does not report to 1079 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 6: the credit bureaus. Sellers typically just want to get their money, 1080 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 6: and as long as you pay them, they have no 1081 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 6: reason to report to the credit bureaus. So that means 1082 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 6: your debt to income racial not going to change because 1083 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,320 Speaker 6: that debt that you have on that land is not 1084 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 6: going to be reported, so you know it, but nobody 1085 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 6: else is gonna know it. So seller financing means you 1086 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 6: could go and put loans out on twenty properties real 1087 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 6: quick and start flipping them on how you might see 1088 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 6: it as an opportunity, and your debt to income ratio 1089 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 6: is not going to change, and you'll be able to 1090 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 6: move on your projects or get institutional funding as needed 1091 01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 6: or additional credit cards as needed without these land deals 1092 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 6: being on your credit report and pulling your debt to 1093 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 6: income ratio to a lower score. So with seller financing, 1094 01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 6: it's scamming season, so be careful. People will put a 1095 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,559 Speaker 6: picture of a property up at like they are the seller, 1096 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 6: and you go and you're like, oh, I just bought 1097 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,720 Speaker 6: twenty five acres for five stats, and you did not 1098 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 6: just buy twenty five acres for five stacks. So make 1099 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 6: sure you are doing your due diligence, that you're checking 1100 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 6: the tax records to make sure that the person who 1101 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 6: says that they are the owner the seller is the seller. 1102 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 6: Check with the listing agent, make sure that the listing 1103 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 6: agent is an official broker, and you protect yourself in 1104 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:31,600 Speaker 6: every former fashion by going through a closing attorney on 1105 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:36,120 Speaker 6: your seller financing deal. That's how you cover your assets. Okay, 1106 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:41,240 Speaker 6: don't go do a seller financing deal straight up, and 1107 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 6: you might not actually end up buying this land, unless, 1108 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 6: of course, you are again a season investor, a season 1109 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 6: real estate investor that's used to buying properties and putting 1110 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 6: deeds in at the tax assessor's office and with the 1111 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 6: court in the county. If that's it's not you. You 1112 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 6: need a real estate agent and you need to close 1113 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,599 Speaker 6: an attorney to ensure that your transaction with the seller 1114 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 6: goes through smoothly. Another note, with seller financing, or what's 1115 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 6: also known as owner financing, you negotiate with the seller. 1116 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:27,680 Speaker 6: You can negotiate what you want and they can negotiate 1117 01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 6: what they need. So it could be a twenty percent 1118 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,799 Speaker 6: down payment, it could be a fifty percent down payment. 1119 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 6: It can be a flat monthly rate of interest only 1120 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 6: with a balloon payment at the end. So make sure 1121 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 6: that you do good negotiating so that you get the 1122 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 6: best financing terms possible so that you don't end up 1123 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,679 Speaker 6: overpaying for this price of land, because if that's the case, 1124 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 6: you hustling backwards. So negotiate. Make sure that you got 1125 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 6: your best negotiator doing the negotiating, and you don't lose 1126 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:09,080 Speaker 6: your shirt because you're financing an exorberate interest rate, you're 1127 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 6: putting too much money down. Any of those things can 1128 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:17,719 Speaker 6: be a bad situation, So negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, and make 1129 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 6: sure final note that the owner owns the property outright. Ideally, 1130 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 6: if the owner doesn't own the property outright, don't buy it. 1131 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 6: If the property itself has a mortgage on it, that's 1132 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,559 Speaker 6: going to be more than the down payment you're going 1133 01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 6: to pay, because when you pay that down payment, you 1134 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 6: want that down payment to clear the mortgage. Noe out. 1135 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 6: That way, you can end up with the deed in 1136 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 6: your name from that moment you leave the closing table. 1137 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 6: That deed being in your name means it's your property. 1138 01:11:55,400 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 6: You can get USDA farm benefits, you can get all 1139 01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 6: of the things that you need. But as long as 1140 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 6: there's a mortgage on that property in that seller's name, 1141 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 6: this deal is a no go. In most states, you 1142 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:15,240 Speaker 6: can't have a property and sell it while you still 1143 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 6: have a mortgage on it, So be mindful that that 1144 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 6: mortgage needs to get cleared, and if it can't get cleared, 1145 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 6: it needs to be assumed, and you need to go 1146 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,760 Speaker 6: through the process of legally assuming that mortgage with the 1147 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 6: mortgage holder and do it the right way because you 1148 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 6: do not want to lose your money. Private money lenders 1149 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,040 Speaker 6: highest interest rates, hands down, that's not the way to 1150 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,680 Speaker 6: go if you can avoid it, but it's easier to 1151 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:48,599 Speaker 6: get most cases. It's based on the deal. And you 1152 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 6: can also get private money from family and friends if 1153 01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 6: you are lucky enough to have people who are financially 1154 01:12:54,960 --> 01:13:00,719 Speaker 6: astute and who have savings and are interested and able 1155 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 6: to invest in deals like land deills and new construction opportunities. 1156 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,920 Speaker 6: So if you have somebody in your circle, go get 1157 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:16,160 Speaker 6: that private money. First, negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, win win right, 1158 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 6: And if you don't have private money available to you 1159 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,640 Speaker 6: in your own personal network, you can go to a 1160 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 6: hard money lender. Hard money lenders are essentially borrowing the 1161 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 6: money of all the people in their network to be 1162 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,400 Speaker 6: able to make loans to you at exorberant interest rates. 1163 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 6: A good interpest rate for somebody who has a pretty 1164 01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 6: good credit score who wants to bus and move before 1165 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 6: their business has been in business for at least six months. 1166 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 6: Because typically all of these financing options, except for seller financing, 1167 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,240 Speaker 6: you're going to want to be in business for at 1168 01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,680 Speaker 6: least six months, unless you are doing a farming business 1169 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,920 Speaker 6: in which you can use a USDA startup loan to 1170 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 6: fund your land purchase and your farming operational expenses. But 1171 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:15,280 Speaker 6: otherwise you are going to need to have been in 1172 01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 6: business for at least six months, unless you're again going 1173 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,720 Speaker 6: with a hard money lender. If not your heart, your 1174 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,599 Speaker 6: heart money lender is going to look at the credit 1175 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 6: score of the primary or the managing partner. If that 1176 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 6: person has like a seven hundred credit score or better, 1177 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 6: you don't have to have been in business for six months. Again, 1178 01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:43,560 Speaker 6: typically the deal will dictate the private money lenders situation 1179 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,640 Speaker 6: where you might not need to have good credit, but 1180 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 6: you definitely need to go and have these conversations again 1181 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,439 Speaker 6: negotiating with your private money lenders. My favorite private money 1182 01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:59,720 Speaker 6: lender is Direct Lending Partners. They typically do not do 1183 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 6: deals on land. Most private money lenders or hard money 1184 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:09,799 Speaker 6: lenders do not do deals on just land, but again, 1185 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 6: this is America. Anything is possible when you negotiate and 1186 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 6: open your mouth. Crowdfunding less hoops, less successful crowdfunding. When 1187 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 6: we started our when we decided to purchase land and 1188 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 6: we were looking at Toomsboro, we went on to go 1189 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 6: fund me and we looked and seen about fifteen or 1190 01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 6: twenty crowdfunding campaigns of people trying to fundraise the one 1191 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 6: point seven million dollars for the city of Tombsborough. Right, 1192 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 6: crickets on all of the crowdfunding, Like, nobody raised more 1193 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:55,600 Speaker 6: than like a thousand dollars on any of these crowdfunding 1194 01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 6: website on this GoFundMe. So crowdfunding, while everybody gets really 1195 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 6: excited about it as an option, it's not usually successful 1196 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 6: unless you're very strategic and you have a huge marketing 1197 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,679 Speaker 6: campaign and a great story. We were able to raise 1198 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,719 Speaker 6: over eighty seven thousand. We're almost close to our eighty 1199 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,200 Speaker 6: eight thousand dollars goal, and we use that as a 1200 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 6: kind of like a building fund where we were able 1201 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,599 Speaker 6: to clear our land and put down gravel and you know, 1202 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 6: lay down areas for us to do our pavilions and 1203 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 6: our stages and all those types of things. And so 1204 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 6: that was a long and hard process to raise eighty 1205 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 6: eight thousand dollars and we still haven't reached our goal. 1206 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 6: So I crowdfunding is an option. It doesn't take a 1207 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 6: lot other than a strong story and marketing campaign, but 1208 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 6: they don't tend to go as far or be as 1209 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 6: successful as you would like them to be. And it 1210 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 6: takes a ton of money to be able to genuinely 1211 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 6: develop large projects, especially when they don't have, you know, 1212 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 6: connection to certain infrastructure. So crowdfunding is definitely a later choice. 1213 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 6: And then there is regulation crowdfunding, which you can raise 1214 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,720 Speaker 6: up to one million and seventy thousand dollars. I'm not 1215 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:29,719 Speaker 6: very familiar with crowdfunding, and I would love if Troy 1216 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 6: and Rashad could get somebody who has done some crowdfunding 1217 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 6: in the ey L University at some point, because yeah. 1218 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, we did Chriscentegal, Chris Sinegal, and I'm sure he'll 1219 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,680 Speaker 8: come back again and get he could do it. 1220 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 3: We can do a class on crowdfunding for sure. 1221 01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:45,639 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1222 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a very he had a. 1223 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,679 Speaker 8: Very successful crowdfunding campaign that they raised over a million dollars. 1224 01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,200 Speaker 6: See what I'm saying, So we I can't speak to that, 1225 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 6: but that right there, this is how we really start 1226 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,640 Speaker 6: to develop land. So that's something that you guys are 1227 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 6: gonna come back, have to become earners and come back 1228 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,920 Speaker 6: and get this class when it comes. All right, So 1229 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,960 Speaker 6: let's get to the bill. The discovery period. There's a 1230 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 6: master planning period, there's a design phase, a construction and marketing. 1231 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 6: Discovery starting from scratch means you need to discover the 1232 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:30,599 Speaker 6: limitations and the restrictions of the land. I saw somebody 1233 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:37,640 Speaker 6: in the comments say something about feasibility studies. That's this 1234 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:42,000 Speaker 6: moment of discovery, right. You can do a feasibility study 1235 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 6: before you buy the land, but that's a whole lot 1236 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 6: of money to put into something and then decide not 1237 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 6: to buy it or go forth. If you study the area, 1238 01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 6: you do your due diligence, you know what's happening in 1239 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 6: the community. You've got to clear vision when you purchase 1240 01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 6: that land. You can do your feasibility study after the fact. 1241 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 6: Because developing land is really a lengthy process. It's not 1242 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 6: an overnight success type situation. It's going to cost for 1243 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 6: a civil engineer to come in to study the grading 1244 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 6: and the slopes of the land. There's gonna be someone 1245 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 6: who goes and drills into the dirt to see how 1246 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 6: much weight the dirt can withstand, so you know how 1247 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 6: high you can build and what you can build and 1248 01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 6: what kind of materials there's going to be best based 1249 01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 6: on the climate. I'm skipping ahead, but ultimately this discovery 1250 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 6: period is where you're gonna get your topographical survey done 1251 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:52,880 Speaker 6: and you're gonna want to understand the demographics of the area. Again, 1252 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:57,879 Speaker 6: what the median income is, our people graduating from college, 1253 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 6: is the crime rates high? All that good stuff. So 1254 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:07,080 Speaker 6: that is your discovery period, your master planning period. This 1255 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 6: is where you're a person that you hired as your 1256 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:14,439 Speaker 6: master planner looks at where we're gonna put everything at 1257 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 6: the infrastructure and the roles ingress and egress means how 1258 01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 6: you go into the neighborhood, how you go out of 1259 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 6: the neighborhood, how you go into your driveway, how you 1260 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 6: go out of your driveway, waste management, stormwater runoff. They're 1261 01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 6: gonna plan all of these things. You are not the 1262 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,440 Speaker 6: person that does that. There's a master planner, a developer 1263 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 6: or architect, a civil engineer. There are a team of 1264 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,920 Speaker 6: experts that sit down and do your master planning. If 1265 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 6: you're doing a large scale project. If you're doing a 1266 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,840 Speaker 6: smaller scale project, you still need the same people, but 1267 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 6: you might be able to work with a boutique company 1268 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 6: that has two, three four people. Maybe that we're in 1269 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 6: the same hats. Master planning happens. Nonetheless, master planning can 1270 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 6: cost anywhere from one hundred and fifty dollars to seven 1271 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:11,960 Speaker 6: fifty an hour, depending on the experience of the master planner, 1272 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 6: and so you could be looking again depending on the 1273 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,679 Speaker 6: amount of the acreage of the project. Are we talking 1274 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 6: about developing ten acres of land, one acre of land? 1275 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 6: Are we talking about developing four hundred acres of land? 1276 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,679 Speaker 6: That master plan to lay out those streets, those roads, 1277 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:35,480 Speaker 6: all of that's designed from the information they got in discovery, 1278 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:40,120 Speaker 6: from that topography report. They're gonna do all of that, 1279 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,879 Speaker 6: and it can cost anywhere from ten to fifty thousand 1280 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 6: or more, depending on how much land you are getting 1281 01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:53,600 Speaker 6: planned and who the planner is. Design phase Designing is 1282 01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:58,879 Speaker 6: the next step to your development process. This goes beyond 1283 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:05,280 Speaker 6: that initial discovery phase into building homes and structures and 1284 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 6: retail and commercial based on the climate the area, the 1285 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 6: needs of the citizens. Areas that are prone to like 1286 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,759 Speaker 6: tornadoes and hurricanes, they will require different kind of building 1287 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 6: materials than places that are dry and don't have those 1288 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:30,840 Speaker 6: type of climate changes and issues. So all of that 1289 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,599 Speaker 6: can increase the cost of what you're designing. And this 1290 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 6: is where you can make a lot of money or 1291 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 6: lose a lot of money because you can overly design 1292 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 6: and you design something that's too high end for the area, 1293 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 6: and now you're not selling because it was not the 1294 01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 6: kind of design for this neighborhood, community and culture. Purchasing 1295 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 6: land where there's wetlands, deep valleys, other tope of gathphical channel. 1296 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 6: That's going to create larger budgets because now you're talking 1297 01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,600 Speaker 6: about building bridges and how you lay in your foundation. 1298 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,599 Speaker 6: So all of that stuff is a part of the 1299 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 6: design fast and it's going to create and have a 1300 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 6: certain budget that will change according to the complexity of 1301 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 6: the design and the uh, what's the word I want 1302 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 6: to use, the style, the aesthetic of it, Okay, construction. 1303 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 6: This is the second to the last stage of the 1304 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 6: rawland development process. In most cases, it's going to be 1305 01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:45,839 Speaker 6: the first year horizontal development. That's the grading of your roles, 1306 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,679 Speaker 6: that's the curves, that's utilities. Eventually, you know you're gonna 1307 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,240 Speaker 6: start building the property from the ground up. When you 1308 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,519 Speaker 6: looking for a contract or your construction team, they're gonna 1309 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 6: get paid in increment from your construction loan, and once 1310 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 6: they have gotten all of the construction done, you're ready 1311 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,639 Speaker 6: to go onto the next phase. And construction again can 1312 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:18,719 Speaker 6: take longer timeframes based on the complexity of the design, 1313 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 6: the materials. Chant leaks in the supply chain or of 1314 01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:28,439 Speaker 6: trying to get certain materials to you. If you have 1315 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 6: certain materials that you are using because you're committed to 1316 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:37,840 Speaker 6: green building, or you have a high end design, all 1317 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 6: of that can lead to higher budgets and costs. When 1318 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:46,559 Speaker 6: you're looking for a contractor or contractors, you can google 1319 01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 6: what state, what city you're in. If you want to 1320 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 6: hire you know a minority contractor, a black contractor.

It's in Fayetteville, Georgia. This marketing 1340 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:27,720 Speaker 6: is what attracts their ideal client.

So when you start thinking about your project, 1358 01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,320 Speaker 6: begin with the end of mind and think about who's 1359 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:55,959 Speaker 6: going to live here, and build for them, and build 1360 01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 6: in a way that the story is compelling. That's what 1361 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:05,080 Speaker 6: we're doing with Freedom Georgia. All right, now, I'm going 1362 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 6: to take you guys to the final stage. And I 1363 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,719 Speaker 6: got three minutes before we go to questions, some insight 1364 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 6: and inspiration. Don't wait for opportunities to come, get up 1365 01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 6: and make them, Madam CJ. Walker. The charter chartering a city. 1366 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 6: Listen if you are interested in chartering a city hit 1367 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 6: me up. But the reality is, as we begin to 1368 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,680 Speaker 6: be more strategic and work these ideas and principles of 1369 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:39,800 Speaker 6: group economics and collective economics, and we're building collectively communities 1370 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 6: that are safe, that are driving the logical next step 1371 01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 6: is a city charter. A city charter is going to 1372 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,679 Speaker 6: open you up for benefits that will give you more 1373 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 6: control over your community long term when it comes to 1374 01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:02,440 Speaker 6: how your community is developed, police, the zoning, the ordinances, 1375 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:07,479 Speaker 6: the health outcomes, how money that gets sent down from 1376 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 6: the federal government to the state government gets distributed is 1377 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:19,000 Speaker 6: based on these cities and their populations and density. So 1378 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 6: we really got to look at how being a city 1379 01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 6: and taking these developments where we're building our own infrastructure, 1380 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 6: building our own culture of shared values. Then we turn 1381 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,960 Speaker 6: go to the next step, which is a city charter 1382 01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 6: and electing officials who are going to represent our values 1383 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 6: and do what's best for the residents that live in 1384 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 6: this city. This is called placemaking, is what we're doing. 1385 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 6: It's not just about land developing. This is about making 1386 01:29:56,320 --> 01:30:02,440 Speaker 6: places where people feel safe, where people have peace, protection, prosperity. 1387 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,680 Speaker 6: And a city is a government structure that allows that 1388 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:10,000 Speaker 6: to actually happen. So that's our next step. That's what 1389 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 6: we're going with this. So get strategic, work together with 1390 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 6: your comrades, with your partners, with your like minded business 1391 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:22,320 Speaker 6: folks in the area, get with your economic development authority, 1392 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,759 Speaker 6: get with your black chambers of commerces, and let's start 1393 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:32,200 Speaker 6: building these cities according to our needs, our desires. This 1394 01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 6: is how we be strategic. This is how we do this. 1395 01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:36,599 Speaker 3: All right. 1396 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, So that was that was powerful. Thank you, Thank you. 1397 01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 8: That was that was an amazing presentation. So I don't 1398 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 8: want people to take that likely. It's like, you know, 1399 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 8: for all the years that we go to school, whether 1400 01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:56,880 Speaker 8: there's elementary, high school, college, even master degree programs. Me personally, 1401 01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:00,360 Speaker 8: I never, you know, was taught the process of buying 1402 01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:03,360 Speaker 8: land and this stuff is. You would think that this 1403 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 8: would be one of the key things that would consist 1404 01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 8: of an educational experience because we all have to live 1405 01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,880 Speaker 8: somewhere and land is the key component of the planet Earth. 1406 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,799 Speaker 8: And it never, it never was actually taught to ninety 1407 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 8: nine percent of us. So it's amazing that you were 1408 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 8: able to come on here and teach this and we're thankful, 1409 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,800 Speaker 8: so thank you for that. And you know, it's also 1410 01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:32,800 Speaker 8: amazing that we was able just to even have this 1411 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,799 Speaker 8: platform to actually educate people. 1412 01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:36,760 Speaker 3: And it's the very encouraging thing. 1413 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,720 Speaker 8: And I'm sure everybody is extremely appreciative of it, but 1414 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,400 Speaker 8: do not take it for granted. Sometimes when you when 1415 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 8: you get things and it's free, you don't fully appreciate it. 1416 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,599 Speaker 8: But it's like, you know, this could have been Harvard, 1417 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:51,120 Speaker 8: this could have been Yale, this could have been any 1418 01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 8: any level of education. I would I would argue that 1419 01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,599 Speaker 8: this was this was right up there and better than 1420 01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:02,800 Speaker 8: when anybody else could have done, whether Oxford, anywhere in 1421 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 8: the world. 1422 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,679 Speaker 3: So that's that's extremely powerful. 1423 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,320 Speaker 8: And now, like I said, this kind of information can 1424 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 8: literally change the trajectory of our you know, existence in 1425 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 8: this country and is something that we have not known. 1426 01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:20,240 Speaker 3: About for hundreds of years, for centuries. 1427 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:23,799 Speaker 8: So now that we're coming into this information, it's important 1428 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,000 Speaker 8: that a we learn as much as possible, we apply it, 1429 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 8: and also we work together as a group. So yeah, 1430 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 8: that's that's something that is extremely extremely powerful. 1431 01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:35,479 Speaker 3: So once again, thank you. 1432 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 8: So what we're gonna what we're gonna go into now 1433 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,000 Speaker 8: is question answers for about twenty minutes.

So yeah, it's been a great experience. 1486 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,800 Speaker 6: Like I've just been going hard in the real estate section. 1487 01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:42,400 Speaker 6: But it's like so many classes, Like I'm not even 1488 01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:44,880 Speaker 6: like it's too much. I'm like it's a lot. Like 1489 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:49,960 Speaker 6: it's stuff. I've watched two classes. I literally sat there 1490 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 6: like taking notes, and I was blown away by the 1491 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,960 Speaker 6: level of information and insight that I was able to get. 1492 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,479 Speaker 6: As somebody who know a little something, you know, I 1493 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 6: still was able to learn, which is really cool. 1494 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,920 Speaker 5: We always we're always gonna over deliver an under promise. 1495 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,760 Speaker 5: That's that's that's kind of how we live in right now. 1496 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:10,719 Speaker 3: And it's like the. 1497 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:14,360 Speaker 8: Most the most successful people always are investing themselves in uh. 1498 01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 8: But actually obviously she's an extremely intelligent person and she's like, yo. 1499 01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 3: I want to be an earner. 1500 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:23,519 Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not above being a member of Eyo University. 1501 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:24,120 Speaker 3: And she joined. 1502 01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,639 Speaker 8: I didn't even know she was joining. She joined and 1503 01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 8: she became a member, and she she's studying herself. So 1504 01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:32,400 Speaker 8: that's that's dope, and that's that says a lot. So 1505 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 8: thank you for that. So we're going to get to questions. 1506 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 8: But before we do, like I said, this, this is 1507 01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 8: the last thing that we're gonna do for ey University. 1508 01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 8: This this uh this year. On Monday, we're changing it 1509 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,720 Speaker 8: and then we're gonna come back January first. If you're 1510 01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,680 Speaker 8: interested in joining Eyo University, Like I said, we're revamping 1511 01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:53,519 Speaker 8: this whole thing. We with the revamp, everything is changing, 1512 01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:56,800 Speaker 8: including the price. The price is gonna double because we 1513 01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,280 Speaker 8: have we're paying professors now, we got a full time admin. 1514 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 8: Everything is changing. We're really really taking it to the 1515 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,439 Speaker 8: next level. If you joined today, it's forty percent off, 1516 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,479 Speaker 8: which is four four hundred dollars for the entire year, 1517 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:14,880 Speaker 8: including seventy classes, all stuff I just named your grandfathered 1518 01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:15,599 Speaker 8: them for that price. 1519 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:16,280 Speaker 3: Next year. 1520 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,639 Speaker 8: And yeah, so this is the last forty eight hours. 1521 01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,559 Speaker 8: You got forty eight hours before that changes. So if 1522 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 8: you're interested, I pinned it in YouTube. It's Eyo University 1523 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:32,720 Speaker 8: dot Com into promo code freedom at the end at checkout. 1524 01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 8: And I mean, like, realistically, four hundred dollars, that's that's 1525 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:40,200 Speaker 8: like a that's a good dinner with two people in 1526 01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 8: New York City. That's a good dinner, two people, a 1527 01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:44,799 Speaker 8: bottle of wine. So to have this level of education, 1528 01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:49,880 Speaker 8: I think that we there's nothing comparable to it, especially 1529 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,960 Speaker 8: for that price point. I mean, people charge ten thousand dollars, 1530 01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:56,720 Speaker 8: nine thousand dollars for that level of education for a 1531 01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 8: lot less. A lot less actually is. 1532 01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,519 Speaker 7: I always say, man, there's there's no platform that has 1533 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,759 Speaker 7: this much information in so many different areas. 1534 01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,960 Speaker 5: Man.

That's crazy. 1545 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,679 Speaker 8: So so yeah, we're interested in having all you guys 1546 01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:31,479 Speaker 8: join is pinned. 1547 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,000 Speaker 3: I'll put it back into YouTube. 1548 01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 8: It's Eyo University dot Com into promo code freedom, and 1549 01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:40,160 Speaker 8: the price will be doubling. It's the first time the 1550 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:43,080 Speaker 8: price is ever double. But we can do that in 1551 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,640 Speaker 8: good conscious because we're giving you your heads up. So 1552 01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,040 Speaker 8: we're giving your heads up that the price is doubling 1553 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,639 Speaker 8: in two days. So, Troy, let's get a couple of questions. 1554 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:56,360 Speaker 7: I'm going I'm going to my man. Let's see John Palmer. 1555 01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:57,040 Speaker 7: I'm mute yourself. 1556 01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:57,599 Speaker 5: You've been on mute. 1557 01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,000 Speaker 7: He's been putting questions in the chat. He's been really 1558 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 7: locked in. So John, what's going on? 1559 01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:03,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, sir, are you doing this? 1560 01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,599 Speaker 5: Even the fellas? 1561 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:09,680 Speaker 10: Excellent man, excellent presentation. 1562 01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,439 Speaker 5: Actually, I really appreciate. 1563 01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 10: The value you were putting out. 1564 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,120 Speaker 3: So definitely. 1565 01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:19,120 Speaker 10: Uh So, I had a question in regards to which 1566 01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:23,920 Speaker 10: I think actually kind of covered but getting lenders who 1567 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,120 Speaker 10: are to say if it's developed land. I was having 1568 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,559 Speaker 10: a hard time recently trying to find ones who are 1569 01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:33,200 Speaker 10: financing and I had a bad experience with with one 1570 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 10: in North Carolina. So if you have any type of 1571 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:41,880 Speaker 10: i say, advice on how to bounce back something like that, 1572 01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:45,680 Speaker 10: I'm I'm all airs to that, but I just want 1573 01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,400 Speaker 10: to kind of, you know, share my experience and see 1574 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:52,759 Speaker 10: if you have drew any alternative ways to finance things 1575 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,520 Speaker 10: as you As she mentioned, it's you know, there's different ways. 1576 01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,679 Speaker 5: But it gets you know, it could be an uphill battle. 1577 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,519 Speaker 10: So that was really my question. 1578 01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, so institution, Thanks John for listening, Thanks for your question. 1579 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 6: Institutional funding is hard. It's the hardest one to get. 1580 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:14,479 Speaker 6: You have to be pristine, you have to have a 1581 01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:18,679 Speaker 6: strong business plan, you have to have a track record, 1582 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,160 Speaker 6: and for a lot of folks that ain't us, right, 1583 01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:25,479 Speaker 6: So you have to be strategic by partnering with someone 1584 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:29,160 Speaker 6: who does have that track record and really putting together 1585 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:35,320 Speaker 6: a solid proposal for especially affordable housing right options. Because 1586 01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 6: if you're not really talking about what the major need 1587 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 6: is right now, institutional lenders aren't really interested, especially being 1588 01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:46,759 Speaker 6: as though we're in the midst of a pandemic. These 1589 01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:52,160 Speaker 6: COVID cautions is what people are taking. They don't want 1590 01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:56,240 Speaker 6: to invest in someone who's never done this before. So 1591 01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:59,480 Speaker 6: your best bet is going to go be seller financing 1592 01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 6: going to also be in getting private money, reaching out 1593 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,680 Speaker 6: to your network of people who you know, who like 1594 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 6: no one trusts you, who know you have a good 1595 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:15,120 Speaker 6: business mind, and again, having that really solid business plan 1596 01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:17,200 Speaker 6: is how you're going to be able to even attract 1597 01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 6: those people. You can't ask your family and friends for money, 1598 01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,679 Speaker 6: and your plans not solid either, Like if you can't 1599 01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 6: get it from the bank, you definitely aint gonna get 1600 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:29,160 Speaker 6: it from your mama if your plans aren't solid. So 1601 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:33,679 Speaker 6: you definitely should look to seller financing as an option 1602 01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 6: and just don't give up. Keep plugging at it and 1603 01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:42,960 Speaker 6: refining your plan and talking to more developers, more contractors, 1604 01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:47,880 Speaker 6: get really involved if you're not already with a chamber 1605 01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:51,599 Speaker 6: of commerce or a development authority, so you can start 1606 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:55,720 Speaker 6: networking and building more solid relationships with some of the 1607 01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,679 Speaker 6: institutional funders and people who might be in a position 1608 01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:01,320 Speaker 6: to help you make it happen. 1609 01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:05,760 Speaker 7: Appreciate, appreciate you, John, Thanks ash Oh, we're going to 1610 01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:07,840 Speaker 7: the H town.

But I know there 1629 01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:15,280 Speaker 11: is a sub market of it, which you kind of 1630 01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,200 Speaker 11: spoke to a little bit, and that's the minerals. As 1631 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:23,200 Speaker 11: far as going into land for the purpose of generating income, 1632 01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:26,680 Speaker 11: and I know that the main way of doing that 1633 01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,080 Speaker 11: is through minerals. Is that a difficult thing to accomplish, 1634 01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:34,560 Speaker 11: of focusing specifically on land that has valuable minerals associated 1635 01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:35,560 Speaker 11: with it. 1636 01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:37,960 Speaker 6: It's not that it's hard, it's like anything else that's 1637 01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,040 Speaker 6: got a business. You have to know the business. You're 1638 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:41,760 Speaker 6: going to have to put together a business plan. You're 1639 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,240 Speaker 6: going to have to hire the consultants to people who 1640 01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:46,640 Speaker 6: are going to actually help you to mind for the minerals, 1641 01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:48,960 Speaker 6: and mining is a whole process, and you're still going 1642 01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,559 Speaker 6: to need some kind of institutional funding to get the 1643 01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:56,120 Speaker 6: manufacturing or excuse me, the equipment that you're going to 1644 01:43:56,200 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 6: need and hire the people and the team to do it. So, yeah, 1645 01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,920 Speaker 6: it's not going to be an immediate return on investment. 1646 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,040 Speaker 6: It's going to be more investment. And typically land that 1647 01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:09,320 Speaker 6: does have minerals on it, those minerals have been spoken for, 1648 01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,759 Speaker 6: unless you are discovering those minerals for the first time 1649 01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:16,519 Speaker 6: on the land that you're buying, and typically that's going 1650 01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,680 Speaker 6: to come out in discovery. And if you come across 1651 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:23,320 Speaker 6: a precious mineral of some use while you are doing 1652 01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:27,679 Speaker 6: your discovery period checking the soil, drilling and all that jazz, 1653 01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 6: then you'll be able to utilize those mineral rights. But 1654 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:36,320 Speaker 6: sometimes those industries are all sewn up and people have 1655 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:39,800 Speaker 6: been working in those industries for so long that they 1656 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,559 Speaker 6: have the ability to potentially box you out. So you 1657 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:44,960 Speaker 6: just need to do your due diligence when you're looking 1658 01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:46,600 Speaker 6: at that. Everything at the end of the day is 1659 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:50,240 Speaker 6: going to be do your research, find people you can trust, 1660 01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 6: and be mindful that if you do find minerals, it's 1661 01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:56,400 Speaker 6: going to likely come after the purchase. 1662 01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:01,759 Speaker 5: Gotcha, appreciate you guys. Gotcha, bro I was looking. 1663 01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,360 Speaker 7: I was looking on landflip dot com. Man, Texas got 1664 01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:06,200 Speaker 7: a lot of land. We're gonna have to talk. 1665 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:09,040 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, we got we got hundreds of thousands of 1666 01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 11: acres available in Texas. 1667 01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:14,760 Speaker 6: You might find some oil. So like that's where the 1668 01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:19,280 Speaker 6: mineral rights can't come and play real good. But typically 1669 01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 6: if there was already mineral rights, if they found that 1670 01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:26,559 Speaker 6: mineral right, that oil there, they got that locked up. 1671 01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,800 Speaker 6: They're not selling you that land in those mineral rights too. 1672 01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:34,160 Speaker 6: That's just not unless, like it's unheard of. It's possible 1673 01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:36,320 Speaker 6: any days, possible because this is American. 1674 01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,960 Speaker 7: Shout to Timmy. In the chat, she said her family 1675 01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:42,759 Speaker 7: has mineral rights on their land. There's an earner with 1676 01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:44,559 Speaker 7: with with the mineral rights. Shout out to you, Timmy, 1677 01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,760 Speaker 7: well kind of forever.

My father recently, 1681 01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,679 Speaker 6: about a year and a half ago, gave me about 1682 01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:10,320 Speaker 6: fifteen acres of land in Georgia. It's cool, thank you. 1683 01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:12,759 Speaker 6: So he he gave. 1684 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,559 Speaker 12: It to me basically and was like, you do what 1685 01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,680 Speaker 12: you want to do with it right now. It's in 1686 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,719 Speaker 12: my name and my brother's name, and I'm currently paying 1687 01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:22,920 Speaker 12: just I think my. 1688 01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 6: Taxes every year about five hundred dollars. 1689 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,639 Speaker 12: So basically I'm kind of at a standstill about what 1690 01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:34,439 Speaker 12: i want to do with this land. And being that 1691 01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,840 Speaker 12: it's in a a it's in a completely rural area. 1692 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 12: It's outside of the city limits of Fort Valley, Georgia, 1693 01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 12: which is Little Georgia, and I'm kind of leaning towards 1694 01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 12: the whole situation with like using the land to grow trees. 1695 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 6: Yes, that was what I was gonna tell you out 1696 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,000 Speaker 6: my mouth. So, yeah, that's what I was going to 1697 01:46:58,080 --> 01:46:58,679 Speaker 6: ask you about. 1698 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 12: If you had any experience or if you have any resources, 1699 01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:03,600 Speaker 12: I've got some insights. 1700 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:05,840 Speaker 6: So let me tell you first and foremost, the thing 1701 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:10,640 Speaker 6: you want to get with is the USDA's Department of Forestry, 1702 01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:15,599 Speaker 6: the Georgia Department of Forestry. You want to also get 1703 01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:19,040 Speaker 6: a farm land number, a Georgia Farmland number with the 1704 01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 6: Georgia Department with the USDA. What you want to do is, 1705 01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:28,439 Speaker 6: if you haven't done so already, you put your land 1706 01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:33,240 Speaker 6: and what's known as a Conservation Use COUVA is what 1707 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 6: they call it agreement that's going to save you an 1708 01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,840 Speaker 6: immense amount of money on your taxes.

But while you're growing your trees, the Georgia 1710 01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:48,040 Speaker 6: Department of Forestry you will pay you to plant the trees, 1711 01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 6: to grow the trees, and the minute that the trees 1712 01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 6: have matured, you cut those trees down. At the end 1713 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,439 Speaker 6: of your COUVA agreement and you can to do it 1714 01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:01,479 Speaker 6: again or sell the land. 1715 01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:03,000 Speaker 1: Mmmm. 1716 01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,720 Speaker 8: That's a whole lot of game, yo, that's a free 1717 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:08,280 Speaker 8: a whole lot of game. That's a whole lot of 1718 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:09,080 Speaker 8: game right there. 1719 01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:12,160 Speaker 5: Sell the trees. So it's called a KOVA agreement ce 1720 01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:12,600 Speaker 5: u v A. 1721 01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:16,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the conservation use agreement.

It's 1723 01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,440 Speaker 6: almost sixty percent annually. 1724 01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 8: I hope y'all soaking up this game right here. Man, 1725 01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,679 Speaker 8: this is this is crazy. This is crazy. That's crazy. 1726 01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,679 Speaker 7: Let's see, Uh, Shannon, were coming to you.

But 1730 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,040 Speaker 7: there's something we call no fridge breaks. So if you 1731 01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:47,120 Speaker 7: if you, if you got up to go to the 1732 01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:49,120 Speaker 7: fridge and we called on you, then we got we 1733 01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:50,720 Speaker 7: gotta go to the next person. So I'm gonna go 1734 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,400 Speaker 7: to the next person. Uh Neia, Mayah, we coming to you. I' 1735 01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:54,519 Speaker 7: mute yourself. You've been unmuted. 1736 01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 5: Piece to the guys, piece of the guys. You know. 1737 01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:04,000 Speaker 13: I want to thank everybody, especially Uyl. I've learned so much. 1738 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:05,960 Speaker 13: You know, I've been an earner for about two months. 1739 01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:12,080 Speaker 13: But to get straight to Ashley, my family has land 1740 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,439 Speaker 13: in Georgia, over one hundred acres. We've had at lease 1741 01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:20,160 Speaker 13: on that particular land for three years with a cotton company, 1742 01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:25,040 Speaker 13: King Cotton. The lease is up and now the question 1743 01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,600 Speaker 13: is the fact that the land has already been cultivated. 1744 01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:34,920 Speaker 13: Is it still I guess ideal or is it what's 1745 01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:36,840 Speaker 13: the will be the process? Or is there some type 1746 01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,639 Speaker 13: of way for us to develop it and build a city. 1747 01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,760 Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, it's a cost analysis that you have 1748 01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:45,360 Speaker 6: to look at. 1749 01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:45,800 Speaker 5: Ok. 1750 01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:49,960 Speaker 6: So if you wanted to build and are you you're 1751 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,719 Speaker 6: in Georgia. So it takes six hundred and forty acres 1752 01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,679 Speaker 6: to build an actual city. So the one hundred acres 1753 01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,519 Speaker 6: for us was just to start, and you gotta get 1754 01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:02,320 Speaker 6: at least a mile rate in order to actually build 1755 01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:06,560 Speaker 6: a city. You can absolutely build a community, a subdivision, development, 1756 01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:09,880 Speaker 6: little town, but for you to get city hood status 1757 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:13,160 Speaker 6: is going to take a few more factors, and having 1758 01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:17,479 Speaker 6: at least six hundred and forty acres is the land requirement, right. 1759 01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:23,200 Speaker 6: But beyond that the lease, you can continue to lease 1760 01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 6: certain areas and work in phases. So instead of taking 1761 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:33,599 Speaker 6: all hundred acres and trying to do something new, start 1762 01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:38,160 Speaker 6: with like ten acres and build a little subdivision. Then 1763 01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:40,360 Speaker 6: you see how that goes, and then you do that 1764 01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:44,080 Speaker 6: and then you get some experience because the more experience, right, right, 1765 01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,840 Speaker 6: the better rates you get, the more opportunities you get, 1766 01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 6: the more leverage. Right. So I wouldn't jet I would 1767 01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:53,599 Speaker 6: the fact that you have the lease, especially if they 1768 01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 6: plan on renewing the lease, that's money in the hand, 1769 01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:58,920 Speaker 6: Like we always know, a bird in the hand is 1770 01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:03,559 Speaker 6: better than two in the bush. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you 1771 01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:07,400 Speaker 6: definitely want to look at Okay, when I renew this 1772 01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,080 Speaker 6: land lease, we're gonna, you know, let's go ahead and 1773 01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:13,120 Speaker 6: subdivide ten acres out because we're gonna go ahead and 1774 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:18,040 Speaker 6: start developing on this first ten acres in time, you 1775 01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:18,320 Speaker 6: know what. 1776 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,680 Speaker 13: And I really appreciate you saying that, because we were 1777 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,680 Speaker 13: leaning towards that, because we were obviously inspired by the 1778 01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:27,960 Speaker 13: nineteen families purchasing a city saying where this is for us? 1779 01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 13: You know. And I've studied case law for about six 1780 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 13: years now, and there's actually a case law of a 1781 01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:38,400 Speaker 13: senator in Florida back in like nineteen thirty or something 1782 01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:41,519 Speaker 13: like that. Right, he had a land that turned into 1783 01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 13: a park after his death, but he put it under 1784 01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,200 Speaker 13: a trust, and a trust in denshed agreement basically stated, hey, 1785 01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:51,959 Speaker 13: this land is strictly for whites, but if we deemed necessary, 1786 01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,920 Speaker 13: we allow other races to you know, participate on our 1787 01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:57,240 Speaker 13: national park. And it got to a point to where, 1788 01:51:57,800 --> 01:51:59,840 Speaker 13: you know, he passed on and then the city had 1789 01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:03,040 Speaker 13: to live out his trust, his indenttional agreement, and they 1790 01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:06,120 Speaker 13: was like, listen, hey, no more blacks is allowed, and 1791 01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:08,680 Speaker 13: blacks were, you know, protesting people was hating him, trying 1792 01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 13: to figure out what why we can't come on this 1793 01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:12,360 Speaker 13: land and fighting it, and they lost in court once 1794 01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:15,240 Speaker 13: they read the indentital agreement saying, hey, this man put 1795 01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:19,040 Speaker 13: this land under a trust and it's specifically for white 1796 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:19,719 Speaker 13: use only. 1797 01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:20,200 Speaker 5: You know. 1798 01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,240 Speaker 13: So once I read that case law, I realized the 1799 01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:27,080 Speaker 13: power and trust and owning the land, you know. So, 1800 01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:30,280 Speaker 13: but I appreciate that though. We really, I really just 1801 01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:30,920 Speaker 13: learned a lot. 1802 01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,080 Speaker 5: Thank you, and I appreciate you. 1803 01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:33,439 Speaker 6: Man. 1804 01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,080 Speaker 5: We just got a whole social studies lesson. Man. 1805 01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:40,040 Speaker 6: Right, Look, you're like, I'm like, okay, case law. 1806 01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 7: You know, you never know what's going to happen on 1807 01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:46,240 Speaker 7: here many. 1808 01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,920 Speaker 3: A case law.

Just building those strategic 1860 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 6: partnerships is the first place to start.
